DESCRIPTION
    Hikarunix ["hee-kah-roo-nix"] is a Live Linux CD. Any PC that can
boot to CD can boot to Hikarunix instead of the computer's regular
operating system. Since it boots entirely in RAM and only borrows the
peripherals, Hikarunix doesn't touch the host machine at all. Shut the
machine down, pop the CD out, reboot and you'll find yourself back
with the same old OS that you started with. No installation or
partitioning necessary. The fact that it fits on a 210MB pocket sized
miniCD and can boot on just about any PC makes it extremely portable.
Internet cafes, library computers, a borrowed laptop can all be your
personal, temporary Go workstation. If you wish you can also install
it to your harddrive or USB drive. Hikarunix and all additions by
myself are licenced under the GPL. All installed software maintain
their own licenses.
